Look To Himself?

May 17, 1985|By Dorothy O. Peceny.

WESTMONT — This TV listener and newspaper reader was not impressed with President Reagan`s statistic that the national debt stands at ``$8,000 for every man, woman and child in the country.`` If my memory serves me correctly, the indebtedness stood at $4,000 per person about 4 1/2 years ago when he first took office. Since that time, his fiscal programs and ``trickle down``

ideology have doubled the debt.

It might be in the best interests of this country and its future fiscal stability if Mr. Reagan looked to himself for the problems that have cropped up since his administration took office, instead of continuing to blame everyone else, especially the Democrats, for the troubles he now faces.
